Many employees benefit from employer provided stock programs. But did you know that in a divorce involving a child support obligation that income realized from vested restricted stock units (“RSU”) could be included for purposes of calculating child support? This was the issue in the recent Massachusetts Appeals case Hoegen v. Hoegen, Mass.App.Ct. No. 14-P-1491. […]

A recent Massachusetts case illustrates the perils of sitting on your legal rights, rather than exercising them without delay. The case is based on claims for damage to a valuable painting that fell from a wall. The picture hangers that held it up tore the canvas of the painting. See American International Insurance Co. v.

What our clients are saying...

We initially used Attorney Hutchins for a traffic violation involving our teenage son. He was very knowledgable and helpful with the situation. After that, we used him twice with the last being a divorce mediation. He was extremely professional and thoughtful during the whole process. When issues came up, he was always available to help and resolve the matter quickly. Mr Hutchins was also about half the cost of other mediators I had priced. Durng a difficult time, it was nice to have someone that made the process less stressful. I would recommend him for any legal matter.Kayla - Grafton, MA

Thank you very much for your time in preparing our Wills/Powers of Attorney. I’m glad we have some basic documents in place and appreciate your time and legal expertise.Betsy - North Grafton

I can’t thank you enough for all your work on my case and the great end result. My gratitude also for taking it in the first place given my financial circumstances. As mentioned, I’d like to use you again in the future if you wouldn’t object, to establish a trust, etc.Jennifer - Shrewsbury, MA

Thank you for assisting me with my case. You were very professional and efficient. I've never had a hearing move so quickly! Great job and I will absolutely recommend you to anyone needing legal counsel or representation.Rob - Sterling, MA

Thank you for helping us create a will which will be a part of our estate plan. The additional consultation on trusts and special needs trusts provided us with good information for further planning. We are confident that we can call upon you again for more legal advice and be in the best of hands.
Sandy - Northborough, MA

I was very pleased with my experience with Hutchins Law. Mr. Hutchins is smart, personable and responsive. If legal action is necessary to right a wrong, it’s important to do it the right way. My son's personal injury case was handled with kindness, understanding, and professional work which got a settlement. I strongly recommend Hutchins Law and would definitely use him again for any legal matters. I give him my thanks.Nicole - Hudson

We came to Hutchins Law to have our (long overdue) will completed. The process was much easier than we expected. Attorney Hutchins was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive to our desires. We were very pleased with the final result. It was an impressive, professional and user-friendly document. We will definitely use Hutchins Law for any future legal matters we might have.Roger & Jenny - Lunenburg, MA

Attorney Hutchins's communication was clear and concise and addressed all my concerns; but what I valued more was his honesty and realistic setting of expectations. He was reliable and competent but more importantly, put my mind at ease during my visit to court. Despite the odds against me - as a result of being found responsible in the same court one year prior - I was found not responsible when Attorney Hutchins fought on my behalf. In short, I would highly recommend Hutchins Law, P.C. as your choice for legal representation.Renee - Worcester

We were very comfortable standing before the judge on the day of the hearing. Everything went fine. In fact, the judge said that he was pleased to see one of the best separation agreements written! Thank you for all your help. I’ve referred you to several people that I know.Michele - Boylston, MA

I work from home and I was having difficulty getting to your office and I appreciated you coming by with the papers for me to sign. That was above and beyond the call of duty. Thank you for all your help. I would highlyKathy - Hudson, MA

I was very happy with the whole process of working with you. You were efficient and very prompt with email replies which is greatly appreciated when I’m working full days and unable to stop for a phone call or an in-person meeting. With minimal effort on my part, you had everything done in a timely fashion and were accommodating for when we needed to meet in person. Again, with a busy schedule, this is so appreciated and I have already happily referred you to another colleague!Trisha - North Grafton, MA

Attorney Hutchins was thoughtful, sensitive and knowledgeable in our initial conversation. He acted with decisiveness and great efficiency. He addressed my legal needs at the least cost to me. He was excellent! I highly recommend Attorney Hutchins.Jane - Paxton, MA

Over Memorial Day weekend, our son hit a tree while driving his vehicle. The incident resulted in 2 criminal and 2 civil citations. We had never dealt with anything like this. With only one day to find and prepare for our son's initial court hearing, I began a search for legal representation. I emailed 4 attorneys and hoped, given the holiday weekend, that someone would see our plea for help and respond. That same day we not only received a response from Attorney Hutchins, but he also agreed to meet us that evening. We left the meeting well informed and felt prepared for theAnonymous

For the last several years Annie and I have known that we needed an updated will. For years I kept putting it off because I didn't know anyone or had enough trust in anyone to move forward. Once Annie and I met you, it was an easy decision to have you draw up our Last Will and Testament. I appreciate the level of detail that you committed to our important documents. I feel confident in you as our attorney. I would not hesitate to request your services in the future.Mark & Ann - West Boylston, MA

Attorney Hutchins was very professional yet personable when helping me with my estate planning needs. He explained everything clearly and made sure I had no unanswered questions (and I had many questions). My family had also used his services in the past, and we won't hesitate to use them again if the need arises.

A good argument was presented to the magistrate and charges were dropped. Results were positive and representation was solid.Bruce - Northborough, MA
